Beware of the insane joggers.

Rating: 5/10 (6 September 2004)

HALLOOOOOOO!!!

Thats about the only line for the first 15 minutes, just repeated again and again while our hero (Jim) desperately wanders the empty streets of London looking for signs of life. But without any luck. Though, at a point where Jim is walking down a long road, yelling as a hooligan, you suddenly see a person in the distance walking towards him and the camera. Then cut. And in the next scene you see Jim walking down another road, still yelling "HALOOOOO!!" and still totally alone. Now, what happened to the dude at the other end of the road? Who is Jim really looking for? Wasn't he good enough for Jim to team up with? OR was it that the dude shouldn't have been there at all in the first place? I think the last is the most obvious, and i find that totally hilarious. But i think the funniest part, in this deadly serious movie, is where our heroes (yes Jim manage to see other people) has stopped in a tunnel, and one of them says something like "Hey, can you hear something?", and then you see about 2 dozen "zombies" in all ages come sprinting down the dark tunnel. I'm telling you, i was so close to laugh my guts out in the cinema while thinking " oh ooh, here comes the insane joggers". Coz what i find so damn funny is, that from Jims first encounter with the infected lunatic people, they don't ever stop running their butts off. Whats the hurry??

But besides the minor blooper at the beginning of the movie, the first 20-30 minutes of this Zombie-like horror flick is far the best. I found the rest of the movie, though driving many miles, to go nowhere. Its sad, because it starts with some good promises where you think "this could get really scary". But no! After the first half the movie falls flat to the ground and just repeats itself, like the dialogue in the beginning.....
I gave it 5 out of 10
